1016: Chapter 133 – The Most Unadorned Confrontation (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3 1016: Chapter 133 – The Most Unadorned Confrontation (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3 Under normal circumstances, when the “Seven Provinces’ Nobility” applied pressure in unison, any commander would be affected.

The assault on the heart had failed, the supplementary tactic of luring the enemy had also failed, and when proposing luring the enemy again, Duke Daniel had little confidence left.

On what seemed to be a calm battlefield, both sides had already gambled numerous times.

He had figured out Hudson’s plan, and Hudson, in turn, had seen through his deployment.

In a situation where neither could fool the other, what the two sides contested was the comprehensive national power.

Whoever ran out of patience and made the first move would find themselves at a strategic disadvantage.

This sensation fueled Daniel’s fighting spirit, but equally shattered the confidence of the upper echelons of the Orc Empire in their victory.

The title of “first among generals” bestowed upon Hudson was a piece of political propaganda they had put out for political needs, and inevitably, the constant repetition of a lie had influenced them.

Could anything be more merciless than propaganda turning into the harsh reality of being struck down by a “club”?

“Let’s try it then, as long as we can draw the enemy out for a decisive battle, it’s worth paying a certain price.

Without seriously damaging the Alpha Kingdom, we can’t rest easy!

Marshal Daniel, don’t take on too great a burden.

The battle situation may be unfavorable for us, but our allies are making excellent progress.

In the Central Continental Area, the Allied Forces composed of Elves and the Ancient Heritage Alliance have defeated the Allied Human Army and are about to rendezvous with the Stone People Race.

If progress continues smoothly, the territories of the Stone People Race, Troll Clan, and Three-eyed Race will be linked with the Elves and the Ancient Heritage Alliance.

According to the plans of the Elf Race, they will subsequently open passages to the Dwarf Race and Cannibal race.

As long as we defeat the Kingdom of Elf, in the future, the entire Alliance would be connected, completely altering our strategic disadvantage in the Alliance warfare,” King Bimon Alexander encouraged.

Political players are different; even though everyone knew that the progress of the Elf Army was good, after his portrayal, everyone’s emotions were still stirred.

If the territories of the Alien Coalition could be connected, allowing mutual growth and development, the situation would be completely different from the present.

Not to say immediately pulling the Human Race from their position as the dominant power on the Continent, but at least, the existential threat to our species would no longer exist.

The Kingdom of Frank’s bloody massacre in the Half-Orc Kingdom had terrified all species, and none wanted to find themselves in the Half-Orc’s shoes one day.

The successful progress of the Allied Forces composed of Elves and Ancient tribes was largely due to the Stone People Race, Three-eyed Race, and Trolls all fighting desperately, making every sacrifice to stall the enemy’s main forces.

“Report!”

Just as the Orcs were elevating their spirits, an urgent military report from outside the camp broke the good mood.

“Your Majesties, terrible news!

A dispatch from the rear reports that three days ago, an enemy force landed at Bimon Port (New Harbor) and invaded the great plains…”

Daniel snatched the military report before the Messenger Soldier could finish speaking and immediately began to read.

The more he read, the more shocked he became.

After recapturing Bimon Port, in consideration of the Orc Empire’s future economic development, they had not destroyed the shipping routes.

This small oversight had unwittingly brought significant trouble.

Thousands of Human cavalry had landed at Bimon Port and begun a crazed slaughter on the great plains.

Not only were the troops stationed at Bimon Port annihilated, but nearby Orc tribes had also met with bloody disaster.

With the able-bodied on the front lines, those left behind—elders and the infirm—were no match for the enemy.

What angered Daniel the most was that the enemy had landed two days prior, and they were only receiving the news now, having lost three days.

On a battlefield, three days were enough to change many things.

The destruction that an uncontrolled enemy force could wreak was unimaginable.

The losses mentioned in the military report were vague, but Daniel was well aware that the actual losses were much greater than what was described—after all, such reports were delayed.

Trouble in the rear had a huge impact on the frontline forces.

Furious, Daniel gritted his teeth and said, “Hudson!”

At that moment, he had come to see Hudson as the main enemy amongst enemies.

Failing to anticipate an enemy attack from the sea was his greatest mistake since joining the army.

“Your Majesties, the situation is critical; to not shake the morale of the frontline troops, we must immediately seal off this news!”

Upon Daniel’s reminder, the Five Great Emperors also recognized the severity of the issue.

With their base being overrun, who would still have the heart to fight!

Especially since, ironically, warfare didn’t allow for family accompaniment.

Even though nomadic species could bring their livestock, the agrarian Orcs couldn’t lug their fields on their backs.

Even if they did bring their families by force, water and food sources would pose a major problem, as too few Orcs could subsist on eating soil.

“Marshal Daniel, give the order!

As for what to do next, carry out whatever you think is best.”

The Bearman Emperor was the first to express his stance.

Now was not the time to dispute over command.

The Bearman Emperor knew how troublesome Hudson could be, as he had felt it profoundly.

Facing such an enemy, the Bearman Emperor believed he was powerless.

If he couldn’t handle it, then let someone else step up.

Though Daniel had been facing Hudson for three or four months, without achieving any notable victories, at least he hadn’t suffered any significant losses.

Of course, the urgent military report just received didn’t count.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t just be a matter of suffering losses, but a devastating blow.
